With their recent assignment the Raikage had given them, it was time they went back to the house for preparations. Gin himself just stuffed his pack with small things to snack on, an extra small rolled up blanket, and some water. After making sure that his pouches were full and they weren't loose on his belt, he exited the house to wait for his other two brothers. Their mission was fairly simply, find a gigantic moving turtle. How hard could it reall be to find something so massive in the land. Maybe it took a break and was stationary for today? Who knew how long it would take to find it, even? There were questions that didn't need to be brought up that only made the mission complicated, but this being his first B-Rank mission had him a little on the edge, which wasn't like him at all.

When his brother's exited the house and made sure it was locked behind them, they began their voyage. The trip would take them outside of their village and into the Land of Lightning. Very little words were uttered, as the mission had already been explained. Now all that was needed to do was find the Island Turtle and return to Kumogakure with the information on it's location. The trio passed through the gates, and Gin's heart sank a little bit. It was apparent that he was entering free-for-all territory. But looking back at his brother's walking behind him gave him a different sense of confidence.

They would all have each other's backs.

Throughout the preparation for their trip, Satsui did little more than rudimentary exercises. Push ups, crunches, and leg lifts. And only after did he bother to fill his pack with anything useful. Mostly rocks. Big ugly rocks that added weight on his back when he shouldered it. The side pockets were filled with odds and ends. Mostly bread. Water could be found on the way.

Following Gin with Kyobona tailing along, he exited the village and into the untamed country. He was more alive there than anywhere else. Complacent and unperturbed.

Kyo' rotated his shoulders, he was still slightly sore from the climb up the mountain but 'eh, it'd be fine. He inspected the gash upon his leg and decided it was fine, cramming useful odds and ends into his pack he muttered. Extra blanket, bread. All would be fine. He checked his supplies of Kunai, and everything else, strapped it too his back. And shrugged. Swiping a Rice Ball he stuffed it into his mouth and nommed on it on the way. Following his sibling he went over the mission specs in his head. B ranked huh. Seems they'd stepped up, at least one more platform.

He continued to devour the rice ball, something had changed he realized, the demeanor of himself, and his brothers since that night. Chuckling to himself, he adjusted his pack, pulled out a kunai, placed it facing blade back against his wrist, and chuckled. Turtle hide and seek. Let the games begin.

/Exit.
